✨ Technical Specifications
The Stump Jump Sauvignon Blanc pays homage to a significant piece of South Australian history: the stump-jump plough. Invented in the late 19th century in South Australia, this ingenious device allowed ploughshares to automatically ride over stubborn tree stumps and rocks, saving countless hours of backbreaking labor and revolutionizing local agriculture. d'Arenberg's Sauvignon Blanc captures this spirit of practical Australian ingenuity. Sourced from select vineyards across South Australia, including cooler sites that preserve the grape's natural acidity, this wine is crafted to be fresh, aromatic, and highly approachable. Vinified primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to retain its vibrant fruit profile, it showcases bright citrus, gooseberry, and tropical fruit notes, backed by a crisp, clean finish that reflects the sun-drenched yet maritime-influenced terroirs of the region.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1912 by Joseph Osborn, d'Arenberg has grown into one of McLaren Vale's most iconic and storied family-owned estates in South Australia. Under the visionary stewardship of fourth-generation winemaker Chester Osborn, the winery adheres strictly to traditional, sustainable methods, utilizing certified organic and biodynamic viticulture along with foot-treading and basket pressing. Renowned for its eclectic naming conventions and distinctive red-stripe label, the estate crafts a wide spectrum of expressive wines with a particular mastery of Rhône varieties, old-vine Grenache, and robust Shiraz. Signature bottlings such as 'The Dead Arm Shiraz' and 'The Ironstone Pressings' stand as benchmarks of regional depth, complexity, and age-worthy character.
